The Special Eyes is a community-created multi-class cosmetic item for the Pyro and Engineer. It replaces the lenses of the Engineer's default goggles and the lenses of the Pyro's gas mask with a pair of team-colored, glowing, paintable ones. It also adds top and bottom metal covers to each lens, making them resemble squinted eyes. The covers can rotate, open and close in order to match the Engineer's expression.

This item has two styles, named "Suspicious" and "Bored". The second style, "Bored", removes the item's bottom covers, while the "Suspicious" style retains the item's original appearance.

Bugs

The Special Eyes' lenses may occasionally appear totally black, or the lenses may lack the team color; appearing totally white.

Trivia

Special eyes is a play on specialize. Engineers typically specialize in their careers, from the major general disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc) into more specific specializations (combustion, acoustics, explosives, etc).

The name of this item and its original description reference a 1-800 Contacts company commercial, in which a man states that he has "special eyes".

There is a small smiley face hidden in the texture for the Special Eyes.
